The 'Nobody Overshares Worse Than This!' thread (NSFW, probably)

Pro-Tip #1: Timely processing of priority interrupts in a real-time system is crucial.
Pro-Tip #1 corollary: This includes human bodies.

Pro-Tip #2: Hyperfocus to the exclusion of bodily functions is a Bad Idea, especially when you are already experiencing intermittent gastric distress.

Pro-Tip #3: don't forget to take any medicine you might need at the moment. Like an anti-diarrhea tablet.

I let's just say that on two different occasions this week, a buffer overrun interrupt didn't get queued in time, and shit got real in a way no ever wants it to. Fortunately I was home both times, but still, what a mess.

In situations like this you need to create a sandbox environment around the issue, if only to contain it.

The last time it happened to me it was at the worst possible time, in the worst possible circumstances. I was in the process of moving from one residence to the next. I was about to depart with the final car load when I had uninterrupted buttock overflow.

Fortunately, I am in the habit of vacating the existing property a few days ahead of the scheduled time - this is so I can come back and clean up (literally in this case). It is also my habit to make the last load consist of things I will need first at the new property - coffee makings and some snack type food, sleeping bad and a change of clothes etc.

My first task was for somebody to get me the appropriate medication (since then I always have it on hand). I then spent the next twenty four hours onin the sandbox in a constant state of evacuation before I considered it safe to vacate.

@Boner Loose is short for Loose Cannon, my main avatar name since I started online gaming back in the late 90's - when I got Half Life and played TFC online. I had a 9600 baud modem and 120Hz AMD CPU. To get a playable frame rate I had to have a 320 x 240 screen. I was in defense and good I what I done, but if I waited until I could tell the Team of the guy running towards me, I lost the advantage. I was a Soldier and would send a rocket, to where they were gong to be, for splash effect.

No, he's the guy who stole my username and made me put the 's' in front of it!

I always wondered about that...

I'd thought it was an obscure pun involving sluices - an oddly appropriate pun for this thread, too.

I have been accused of such an origin before and am not opposed to it, but alas 12-year-old me was not that clever when he came up with his username. It was more of "loosecannon is taken, my first name is Steven, I'll be 'sloosecannon' instead"
